Can I get an injunction against the Council, preventing them from installing something which is not in compliance with legislation. I presume that the answer is yes. If so, how much is this likely to cost?..and can I recoup those costs against the Council?
Size
No minimum or maximum dimensions are currently prescribed
for the height, widths and lengths of vertical deflections in
Ireland. However, it is important that these features are designed
to attain an acceptable balance between the benefits and
potential drawbacks outlined in Chapter 6.6. It is the
combination of height, length and entry or exit slope (width and
side slope for speed cushions) that determines the speed at
which vehicles can travel over them.
The gradient is 1:8, per Council design, however there is a natural fall at this point, increasing this to 1:6.8.What is the gradient of the "ramp"? If it is 1:10 or flatter then it doesn't matter much how high it is because you will be eased onto it.
No idea, haven't been able to find out There was certainly no attempt to contact the Residents Assoc - I'm the contact between Council & assoc.Was there a public consultation process?
Can't get in contact with him. He did a mail drop during the week - this is how we found out about the ramp. I am in contact with other councillors, but apart from being sympathetic, they seem to know little about it.Have you spoken to the counsellor who referred to the "raised ramps" or perhaps he is the proposer.
They're in arms! Everyone very unhappy. Consensus is that this will increase the risk of accidents, rather than reduce them.What do your neighbours think?
All the associated works are either complete or almost so. Unless we can stop it, I expect the ramp to go in late this week/next week.Has it been constructed yet?
Yeah, I think I'll need to talk to him tomorrow, no matter what advice I get in the meantime - assuming my Civil Engineer friend comes home at all!In any case it will be interesting to hear what your solicitor thinks.
